THE source of the salmonella outbreak that has claimed 120 victims in Ireland and the UK is believed to be Dawn Farm Foods based at Naas, Co. Kildare.
It appears that meat contaminated with salmonella was used in sub rolls served up by the worlds biggest sandwich chain, Subway, in outlets across the Ireland and the UK.
And the 120 victims may be just the tip of the iceberg, for it is likely that many people who fell ill did not report it to their GP or public health authorities.
The outbreak has mainly affected young adults, although one child aged just 12 months is known to have fallen ill.
